I- Specification of Letters Patent.

rammed March' e, 190e.

Application filed September 20, 1905. 'Serial No. 279,318.

To @ZZ whom't may concern:

Beit known that I, RICHARDE. LUNsFoRD,

.a citizen of the United States, residing at exact description of. the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relats'to lows; and its object is to provide a dura le device` of this character formed of but few parts which will not become easily disconnected and havin a scraper of novel form, both the scra er and the stoc The invention consists of a stock formedof metal bentu' on itself and curved from end to end, the c evis being adapted to be cone.

nected to the ends of said 1netal'strip, while the intermediate or looped portion .thereof constitutes the foot. .A scraper of^-peculiar form is adjustably mounted uponthe rear portion of the foot, while the plowshare is similarly connected to theo posite portion arts jare held in astening device.'` The invention also consists of certain other novel features of construction and combina-V tion of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described, and pointed out inthe claims. In the accompanying drawings I have shown the referred form of my invention;

In said awings, Fi e 1 is a perspective view of my improved p ow. Fig. 2 is a vertical section therethrough; and Fig. 3 is a de tail view of the scraper detached,l the'central portion of said scra er being brokenaway at 1ts up er edge and s own in section. i Re erring to the fi es by numerals of reference, 1 is the stoc of the plow, the same being formed of a strip of metal curved from end to end and bent upon itself at the center to form a U -shaped foot 2. The ends of this strip are enlarged at 3 and provided with openings 4, in which suitable draft devices may be fastened. The edges of the strip arev notched in the foot portion thereof, as shown at 5, and the notches within the front 'portion of the foot are adapted to receive a ange 6', formed at the upper edge of a plowshare 7, having an elongated slot 8 therein. This slot isadapted to receive a clamping-bolt 9, which projects through the U-shape'd foot 2 plow being adjustably connecte, toxythe' -plowsha're u ljacent the old, a scraper upon-the other .edge of the .stock and adjacent the fold,

and through an opening 10 formed adjacent the center of a scraper 1l. This sera er'is in a single piece of metal and consists o similarwingsextending backward. at acute angles from the center and havingia tongue 12 projecting forward from the central portion ofY the thescraper and into the foot 2. A

flange 13 is formed adjacent the upper edge of the central portion of the scraper and 1s adapted to engage any of the notches 5 in the rear of the foot. A thumb-nut 14 is mounted on the bolt 9, and bytightening it "the plowshareand the scraper can be 'clamped i u on opposite faces of the stock with their ii ges Gand 13 within the notches adjacent tlereto. Byrloosening the bolt 9 either the powshare 7 or the scraper 11 can be adjusted vertically, so as to assume any desired relation to each other, and by tightening said bolt the two parts can be securely bound immovably upon the foot 2.

It will be noticed that the plow such as `herein described embodies in its construction but four arts, to wit: the stock and foot, the plows are, the sera cr, and the securing means for the share an l scraper. There are therefore very few parts to become displaced- Y or getput of order,- and the device will be aninexpensive.

avin thus fully described iny invention, what I c aim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination with a slotted plowshare having av i'langeat one end and an angular scraper having aviiangeg of a stock.

ormed of a curved strip of metal folded upon itself at the center and having its ends enlarged and apertured, the edges of said strip being notched adjacent the fold and adaptedv to be engaged by the flanges; and securing means extending through the slot in the plowshare and through the scra er.

2. The combination wit a stock coniprising a curved metall strip folded u on itself and having notches in its ed es; o a slotted on one edge of t e stock and adflanges extendinff from the share and scraper and adapted to e seated in the notches, a tongue extending from the scraper and into' the stock, and means extending through the slot in the share and into engagement with the scraper fof clamping the share and' scraper upon opposite edges of the stock.

IIC

A stock lor plows l'orined of n curved strip of inctal folded upon itself et the center and having its edges notched adjacent the fold, the ends of said strip being spaced apart :i greater distance than the notched portionthereof and enlarged end :tpertured for he reception of draft ineens between seid ends.

Il. The combination with ,e slotted plowshin-e, having e Y[lange et one end, en angular scraper having e centmlly-disposed flange et one edge end :t tongue et the opposite edge; of :t stock lornied ol e curved strip of nietel folded upon itselll et the center :in al having its ends enlarged :ind epertured, *he edges of 15 said strip being notched adjacent the foldI end adapted to be engeged by' the langes's the tongue on the scraper extending into the liold, the ends on seid strip being. spaced l agiert e, greater distance than the notched portions thereof7 and securing means extending through the slot in the plowshere end through the scraper.

In testimony whereof 'I have signed my naineto this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
